Abstract
Expachyrhynchus gen. nov. is established in the tribe Pachyrhynchini of the subfamily Entiminae for two new species from Palawan Island, the Philippines: E. chloromaculatus sp. nov., the type species, and E. granulatus sp. nov. This new genus is similar in general appearance to the genus Pachyrhynchus Germar, but differs from it mainly by having the uneven prothorax with irregularly convex interstices between strong punctures and the elytra with weakly arched dorsal contour and more or less granulate intervals. Illustrations of diagnostic characteristics of the genus are provided. Expachyrhynchus chloro- maculatus possesses a deep subobtriangular rostral concavity and the weakly granulate elytral intervals, whereas in E. granulatus the rostral concavity is much shallower and the elytral intervals are more strongly granulate. A key to the species is provided, in addition to a diagnosis, habitus photographs, and illustra- tions of male genitalia and female terminalia for each species.

A new Pachyrhynchini species, Metapocyrtus (Artapocyrtus) sakaii sp. nov., is described from Surigao del sur, Mindanao, the Philippines. This species is distinguished from its allied species mainly by having a conical projection on the ventral surface of the rostrum in both sexes.

The evolutionary origins of mimicry in the Easter Egg weevil, Pachyrhynchus, have fascinated researchers since first noted more than a century ago by Alfred Russel Wallace. Mullerian mimicry, or mimicry in which two or more distasteful species look similar, is widespread throughout the animal kingdom. Given the varied but discrete color patterns in Pachyrhynchus, this genus presents one of the best opportunities to study the evolution of both perfect and imperfect mimicry. We analyzed more than ...

Patterns of genomic architecture across insects remain largely undocumented or decoupled from a broader phylogenetic context. For instance, it is unknown whether translocation rates differ between insect orders? We address broad scale patterns of genome architecture across Insecta by examining synteny in a phylogenetic framework from open source insect genomes. To accomplish this, we add a chromosome level genome to a crucial lineage, Coleoptera. Our assembly of the Pachyrhynchus sulphureomacula...

Aim We investigated the spatial and temporal patterns of diversification among colourful and flightless weevils, the Pachyrhynchus orbifer complex, to test the stepping-stone hypothesis of colonization across the Taiwan–Luzon volcanic belt. Location Southeast Asia. Methods The phylogeny of the P. orbifer complex was reconstructed from a multi-locus data set of mitochondrial and nuclear genes using maximum likelihood in RAxML and Bayesian inference in MRBAYES. Likelihood-based tests in CONSEL wer...
